My Light
Playing in the tunnels
Dark and damp
You hold the light
Running ahead, around the bend
And when I look for you
I see nothing
I search
Still nothing
I call out to you
Still nothing
Scared and alone
Tired, energy spent
I rest against the wall
Suddenly you are there
Waking me
We play merrily again
Like children
And as suddenly as you appeared
You are gone again
And I see
Nothing but darkness
I�m alone in the dark
You are my light
And without you
I see no way out
Come save me
From the unseen monsters
Bring back my light
And take me home
